Unimike.net -- The Lost City in the Endless Universe

I have posted the entry about this before at here which I made in September 2005 which the gas price was approximately at the range of $2.50 to $2.65 per gallon. Now last week we have surpressed the $3 per gallon barrier and the station now charges over $3.15 per gallon at my area and the particular chevron charges $3.23 (It was $3.12 per gallon on the day before) per gallon and it was totally empty when I drove by while the acro across the street only charges $3.09 that was packed with cars! So at the rate where we are going so we are flirting with the $4 barrier and President Bush said he have suspended the oil summer deposits to the federal oil reserve to cool market down but in my opinion, it won’t be working because that probably will add only 30,000 barrels per day to the demand of 21 million barrels per day. Reversing the tax cuts from the oil companies won’t be working either because the companies have the power to pass the increased taxes to the consumers by raising the gas prices! What we have to do is that to push our government to accelrate the research and development of the reliable hydrogen fuel cell or improve the ethanol technology!

While the oil companies are reaping in their record-high profits and the consumers are being increasingly angered as the gasoline price continues to raise, for the federal government, I urge you to pass some kind of restricting law that applies to the oil companies that they can not charge the consumers if we are going to tax the oil companies more to correct the raising price which there is not any bill that is related to it.

For me, I have to suspend my daily commute between home and my primary job by car for a bike ride of 4 miles per way since the spending for the gasoline becoming more and more ridiculous! So I am doing my part to ease the demand down so will you ? Oh, no offense for those of you who drives the Chevy Suburban as the personal transport but I have to rant this, trade that damn gas-hogging SUV in for more effiecent SUV!

In the fear of the seeing $4 per gallon to be charged by the gasoline stations, I felt I had to post this article, also President Bush have released the emergency oil reserves in the attempt to control the skyrocketing gas prices but it gives no relief as well as the poll says it will just continue to climb higher regardless. I guess it is time to buy new electronic cars ? oh god help us.

I never thought of posting it on my blog until Grant W Laird Jr posted it on his blog, so I thought why not post it on my blog to adversite to more people, As we know that the gas price is on the constantly increasing regardless if it have to do with the Iraq war or the refineries running at its capacity or the weather diaster shoots it up or it might have to do with President Bush’s presidency ? We don’t know. But, we can do something about locating the cheapest gas station by posting it at http://www.gasbuddy.com. I have been member for that site for a year now. I have brought extra businesses to my primary local gas station and still leads in the low price for retail gasoline probably within 1 or 2 miles radius.

So, if you decide to do your part, you can go to http://www.gasbuddy.com and sign up for the membership as they provide alot of cool features for the members like gas logbook, discussion fourms and etc.
